I need to find the main variables in the ecological and morphological phenotypes of marine zooplankton which define the trophic niche I order to build a comparative multivariate matrix.
Your question is not clear to me. What exactly you want to know?
Mechanistic properties, size ratios, behaviors.. Etc which may be transversal to all body plans and determine feeding rate, efficiency.. Etc
This nice paper will give you some quite relevant info.
How zooplankton feed: mechanisms, traits and trade-offs
